THE PAVING QUESTION.
The Council Committee of the Whole
to Meet Next Week.

The Council Committee of the Whole
to Meet Next Week.
The City Council will meet early next
week as a committee of the whole to con-
slider the Street and Lane Committee S re
port upon the paving question. The COM
mttee would have met this week, but it
decided 10 await the return Of Alderman
Wells, who will be here probably on Mon
day. If possible a report will be made to
Council at its next meeting
1t is necessary to take the matter in hand
Immediately if any paving other than that
already under contract is done this season.
The Congress street contract has already
been let to the same parties who laid the
Broughton street paving, and work was to
have been commenced before now, but it
has been deferred until Jan. /. The Con
gress street pavement will be Of asphalt, the
same as Broughton street, and it
will be laid from Drayton street
to West Broad. The work of lay
ing the new water mains between
Whitaker and Abercorn streets, will begin
right after Christmas. Under the contract
the work will be completed in two months
after it is commenced.
In the meantime the city will decide what
other streets it will pave and the work can
be let at once. The Street and Lane Com
mittee reported in favor of paving the north
half of Liberty street. The question has
arisen whether property owners whose
property is on the south side of the street
will have to pay for the paving of the north
side Under the law they will have to
pay their portion OF the cost of the
work the same as if the pavement
extended the entire width of the street.
Then when the south side is paved property
owners on the north side of the street will
be assessed their share Of the cost of the inn
provement.
Whether the Council will see fit to pave
Liberty street at all, or what streets it will
pave will be settled when the committee of
the whole makes its report.

MR.. wHATLEY's EXPLANATION.
He Has Word to Say About the APP
pearance of His Name to the Bacon
Card

He Has Word to Say About the APP
pearance of His Name to the Bacon
Card.
Editor Morning NelUS: As my name ap-
pears to a card in your paper of yesterday
beg space in your columns to say that
have never conversed with DIR. Leonard w.
Bacon upon the matters to which the card
refers, but was guided, in signing it, by the
statements of others whose names were upon
it, and who assured me that they had seen
him and conversed with him. Further
more, | have not advocated extending a
permanent call to DR.. Bacon at this time,
and so expressed myself few days ago at a
meeting of his friends. The objection which
/ urged upon that occasion was the fer
mented and irritated condition of the
church But have favored, and do favor,
his being retained here for time, at least,
until his congregation may know him better,
and that he and they, if 1t be possible, may
come to more perfect understanding.
This seems to be due to him and to his
friends.
Having explained my position toward DR..
Bacon, viii further state that |, with
great many others, exceedingly deplore the
ADVERTISEMENT in the Ereninq Times of
this city, coming as it does from such a
man as Col I. H. Harden, for whom | have
the profoundest respect and esteem. The
inquiries" which Col. Harden propounds
to DR.. Bacon are degrading in the last de-
gree, not only to him and his family, but to
the pulpit which he occupies, and the in
formation, if sought, should have been OBJ
tanned in a private and more delicate way.
] cannot but believe, therefore, that Col.
Harden acted without proper consideration
of a matter of such grave Importance TO all
concerned Very respectfully,
j. l.. WHATLEY.

CURED on the steamship Aller on Friday
The steamship was nearing port and one Of
the women cabin passengers appeared in the
dining saloon dressed in the costliest lace.
She confided to her female friends that every
article of dress she wore was of lace, even
to the gloves ana hose, and added that she
would wear lace boots if it wasn't SO chilly.
She explained that one of her daughters is
shortly to be married, that the lace was for
her trousseau, and that inasmuch As she
personally wore it, the customs regulations
could not take it from her 1t is estimated
that the fair and matronly one was draped
with $1,000 worth Of the lace.

Cable Street Cars.

There was rumor afioat a few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as 50
many more trips could be made in day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in a very little time. Just the
same at Appel & Schauls, the One Price
Clothers; it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment. as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to call and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-l65 Congress

From CHIN TO BREAST
Death Averted by the Use Of Prickly
Ash, Poke Root, Potassium.

! had a negro working on my place
who had a very ugly sore on his neck,
extending from the chin to the breast
bone. 1t was eating away rapidly, and
was supposed to be a cancer He had
gotten to such a state that he was not
able to work, and could only swallow
milk or soup. At this stage l decided to
try Dr. WhiteheadS Blood Purifier on
him-Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas-
STUMP. P. p, The effect was perfectly
wonderful. The sore began to heal at
once, and the man daily gained in
strength and flesh, till finally the entire
mass of impure flesh came out, and the
place filled up and scabbed over This
scah finally shed off and left a smooth
scar where once a most filthy eating
sore had been. The man is now work
ing in the woods as regular hand, and
is in perfect health. d. T. MCDUFFY.

business has. on the whole, been prosperous.
II is pleasant to note the continued health
fulness that has prevailed in our midst for
several years past, which must, in a meas
ure at least, be attributed to the improved
drainage of our suburbs and to other sani-
tary work, done or under way, in and
around the city. The future of our city,
and of the country that is tributary to it,
appears to be on fairly solid foundation,

afford to let other sections enjoy their
booms without allowing envy to enter our
hearts, or bile to disturb our livers, and

being too slow because, in our journey

passenger coach rather than on the cab or

this year. The largest invoice was
Friday when eight pouches were re-

was on Sunday morning when six big
sacks came in. There were some rath-
er queer presents received, among
others "a big fruit cake that came all
the way from Nevada. Fridays sale
of stamps reached $48.5O, and two

mailed them and others are still held

Christmas Presentation.

A very pleasant surprise was given
Francis Walker, foreman of the Fair
banks foundry, last Saturday morning.
During Mr.. Walkers absence from the
shop few minutes q small fiat car
was run into the middle of the foundry,
a chair put OIL it and, on his return he
was invited to take seat &; the men
quickly gathered about when one of
their number, William Graham, pre-
sented him with a gold -headed cane.
After some general remarks about the
Christmas season Mr.. Graham, speak
ing of Mr.. Walkers long connection
with the shop, said that he had come
there before most of the men before
him were born, for nearly half a centu
ry had been identified with it, and for Il
generation had been it's foreman the
men in his employ, wishing to make
some acknowledgment of and to show
their appreciation of what they trusted
was his interest i'm their welfare,
presented the cane, hoping the day to
Uc ldT uiSLduI Wien lie WOuiU O0 OUllR-
ed to lean on it for support. Mr..
Walker was taken completely by sur
prise and was unable to control his
emotions sufficiently to say any thing in
reply except, "YOu have got me this
time. L give it up; can't say word"
The cane was an elegant affair, an
ebony stick with a gold head, richly
chased and engraved. 1t cost over
$50 and was selected by John Moore
of the Passumpsic clothing house. Mr..
Walker was sporting his cane round
in great shape Saturday evening and
seems to find good deal of enjoy
ment in it as well he may. Mr.. Walk
er has been in the employ of the scale
company more than 40 years and has
under his charge nearly 100 men, some
of whom have been there nearly as
long as he, others 30 years, some 20,
some 10 and others for a shorter peri
cd.
